Wigner Distribution Function Approach to Dissipative Problems in Quantum Mechanics with emphasis on Decoherence and Measurement Theory
R. F. O'Connell
We first review the usefulness of the Wigner distribution functions (WDF), associated with Lindblad and pre-master equations, for analyzing a host of problems in Quantum Optics whe…
The Equation of Motion of an Electron
R. F. O'Connell
The claim by Rohrlich that the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation is not the correct equation for a classical point charge is shown to be incorrect and it is pointed out that the equat…
Effect of an External Field on Decoherence
R. F. O'Connell, Jian Zuo
"Decoherence of quantum superpositions through coupling to engineered reservoirs" is the topic of a recent article by Myatt et al. [Nature {\underline{403}}, 269 (2000)] which has…
Decoherence at zero temperature
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
Most discussions of decoherence in the literature consider the high-temperature regime but it is also known that, in the presence of dissipation, decoherence can occur even at zero…
Classical Communication Cost of Quantum Teleportation
Chirag Dekate
Quantum teleportation schemes in which operations are performed before establishing the quantum channel are not constrained by resource limits set in H.K.Lo and Bennett et al. We c…
Decoherence in a driven three-level system
A. R. P. Rau, Weichang Zhao
Dissipation and decoherence, and the evolution from pure to mixed states in quantum physics are handled through master equations for the density matrix. Master equations such as th…
Note on the derivative of the hyperbolic cotangent
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
In a letter to Nature (Ford G W and O'Connell R F 1996 Nature 380 113) we presented a formula for the derivative of the hyperbolic cotangent that differs from the standard one in t…
Decoherence without dissipation
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
The prototypical Schrödinger cat state, i.e., an initial state corresponding to two widely separated Gaussian wave packets, is considered. The decoherence time is calculated solely…
